Dedicatory

HE Class of 1919 dedicates diis volume to Professor Louis Dorn as
a token of love and gratitude.

A prophet is not wilhuiit honor except in his own country. As a rule,
a man is not estimatetl at his proper wortli by his contemporaries. And
the work of a teacher is not appreciated by the average student until long
after the relation of teacher and pupil is ended.

To this indictment — and an indictment it is — we, the Class of 1919,
plead guilty. What time he was with us, setting tasks, giving examinations.
demanding themes and essays, the greater number of us looked upon him
very much as undergraduates generally look upon a teacher. He was to
us one of those hostile forces, that the course of human events has placed
between us and a diploma, as a lion in the path toward graduation. This
hostile force we hail to meet in a fair encounter. And right glad we were
too. if we came out of tlie encounter unscathed.

'Tis true we did occasionally see that a teacher is more than a hostile
force, a stem taskmaster exacting toll and tribute to the uttermost fartliing.
And particularly of Professor Dorn. even tlie most unappreciative of us
felt that he was a kind and loving friend, rather than a taskmaster. Even
he who lacked most in penetration realized that Professor Dom was a big,
manly man, who devoted the full strength of a great soul to the ungrateful
task of leading us upward and onward. Indeed, leading us, not driving us,
hut leading us. gently but firmly, along the path we were to go.

Yet. in spite of all this, who can say that he ever realized how ileep
he was in Professor Dorn"s debt? In those days when the news gradually
spread among us that he would never teach us again, that ere long his
sickbed would become his deathbed, in those days when we heard that, amid
great bodilv suffering, he was slowly but surely succumbing to the power

Professor L. W. Dorn

of the Reaper whose name is Death — in those days many of us. yea all of us,
said to ourselves. "Not until now did we realize the greatness of our loss."

In speaking of our loss, we are not thinking of the loss of the ehurch,
inasmuch as a great theologian, an aeiurate thinker, a gifted pulpit orator
has passed away. Nor are we thinking ot the loss to the city of Ft. Wayne,
inasmuch as one of its most truly public spirited men is no more. No, we
are thinking most specifically of our own loss, inasmuch as we lost a teacher
and leader.

As we think back over the years that have passed we realize that he was
to us a teacher in the truest and most ultimate sense of the word. We know
that he sought to awaken and did awaken in us the powers of our slumbering
souls; that he taught us not so much by his instruction as by his personality;
that he was wont to stand before us in the classroom as a man "fourscpiare,
without a flaw" who was doing the work of bis calling with a high earnest-
ness and an exalted joyfulness, as die bearer of a sacred fire which he would
fain transfer into our souls in order that we migiit be enabled to go out into
the world, whereever it might please God to place us, and do our work as
men of fullgrown stature — even as he did his.

And in this sense may he remain our taskmaster ever! May we do the
work of our calling in life in die spirit in which he taught us to do our work
here at Concordia!

The History of Concordia

CONCORDIA COLLEGE had its origin in 1839 in Perry County. Miss-
ouri, under conditions that might have caused die most optimistic to
despair of its success. The Saxon Lutherans, in whose midst the school
was established, had arrived in southern Missouri hut a few months before;
and clearing tli-= land on which they had settled and providing themselves with
the necessaries of life were matters that demanded immediate attention. The
lack of funds in the colony made itself painfully felt. Yet, in spite of these
difficult conditions, the college was founded by one of the settlers" pastors and
three candidates of theology who volunteered their sei^vices. A classical
course was offered, which aimed to prepare students for university work. For
such as desired to enter the ministry, a theological course, too, was provided.
The original college building, a log cabin, still stands, a monument to the
courage and enterprise of the founders of the school. Five students enrolled
the first year. Not long after its foundation, the institution was moved to
Altenburg, Missouri, about a mile from its lurthplace. where various men
carefully fostered the tender i)lant.

Since its beginning, the school had occasionally, in a financial way, enjoyed
the assistance of members of the surrounding Lutheran congregations; and
now, when the conditions under which the Saxon immigrants lived had
improved, the Lutheran congregation in St. Louis provided funds and
appointed a salaried instructor, who took charge of the college in 1843.
The number of students dim was eiaht.

The (lid Log Cabin.

In the year lolT. the Synod
of Missouri, Ohio, and other
States, resolved, at its meeting
in Chicago, Illinois, to inquire
of the congregations at Alten-
burg and St. Louis whether
they would be willing to en-
trust their college to the care
and supervision of the Synod.
When they agreed to do so, the
institution was transferred to
St. Louis, and in 1850 the pro-
fessors and instructors, six stu-
dents of theology, and ten
members of the collegiate de-
partment took possession of
the new building, for the con-

f5)

struction of which both the
necessary money and a ten-
acre plot of ground had
been provided by the St.
Louis congregation.

In the spring of 1852, the
school was legally incorpo-
rated and was thenceforth
known as Concordia Col-
lege.

In die same year the num-
ber of students increased to "*"
thirty-four, and to accom- ^''^ Old Bmhlmg.
modate them another build-
ing was erected in close proximity to the first. Within a period of six years
the school had again grown to such an extent that it became necessary to
resume building operations. Accordingly a new structure was placed
between the two existing buildings to form one unit with them. This was
dedicated to its purpose in 1858.

Thus the institution continued to flourish ai St. Louis, the same building
accommodating both the college and the theological seminary. In 1860
seventy-four students were enrolled in the collegiate department, who were
instructed by six professors, three of whom devoted their entire time to the
college, while the remaining three offered courses in the seminary also.

The following year, 1861, was to be of the

The Old Roadway.

greatest importance to the
development of Concordia
College. The Synod, after
carefully weighing the pros
and cons, had decided to
combine the Practical The-
ological Seminary at Fort
Wayne with the seminary at
St. Louis, and to transfer its
college to Fort Wayne. The
outbreak of the Civil War
and the resulting unrest in
St. Louis hastened the exe-
cution of the plan. In sum-
mer, 1861, three professors,
one assistant and seventy-

eight students came to Fort Wayiie, where they were confronted by grievous
difficuhies. As the transfer had been made so suddenly, the housing facili-
ties were inadequate, and, besides, an epidemic of typhoid broke out. Both
students and faculty were gravely afflicted, and the work of the institution
was seriously hampered. Fortunately no deaths resulted. ^

By 1867 the mmiber of students had reached one hundred and thirty,
and the faculty was increased by the addition of two new professors. The
Synod liberally supported its college, and erected all necessary buildings,
so that by 1869 the following buildings, besides the old seminary, were
found on the college campus: four professors' residences; a large building,
containing the kitchen and a residence for the steward, his family, and the
servants; a dining hall; a bakery; and a large new building intended to serve
as a dormitory, in which, however, large class-rooms were provided. This
was already under cover, but not yet finished in the interior when a fire,
in the night of December 28, 1869, gutted the old college building. The
students in the dormitory lost all their meager belongings and barely escaped
with their lives. Liberal contributions by the various congregations of the
Synod enabled the students to fit themselves out anew, and permitted a
speedy repair of the damage. The new dormitory was completed as rapidly
as possible and, being calculated to accommodate two hundred students,
afforded plenty of room for the student body.

In the year following Concordia College continued to flourish and in 1889
celebrated the fiftieth, and in 1914 the seventy-fifth anniversary of its founda-
tion. In both instances alumni and friends of the institution from far and
wide assisted in making the occasion impressive and worthy of remembrance.

Such of the former students as have not been able to visit their Alma Mater
for many years would undoubtedly be favorably impressed with the many
improvements and additions that have been made in the course of time.

The Old Gym.

^^^ESr^

The Old Mess Hall.

The dormitory of 1869 was renovated and modernized in 1903, and in place
of the old frame dining hall a large brick building meets the eye. Then,
besides, since 1869 there have gone up four new professors' residences; a
hospital; a swimming pool, and a central heating plant. A large, beautiful
lecture hall with an auditorium seating approximately 7.50 persons was com-
pleted in 1905. Through the liberality of friends and former students of
the college it was made possible to erect a spacious gymnasium, which affords
ample room for drilling, basket ball games, and the like. Its large dimen-
sions become apparent when the fact of its seating comfortably between two
and three thousand persons is mentioned.

But the progress that the school made is not only attested by the improve-
ments made in adding new
structures on the campus.
Changes were made that af-
fected the students deeply to
their own advantage. Mili-
tary training was introduced
in 1907, and the results of
this innovation have thus far
been exceedingly gratifying
from every point of view.

Naturally, the course and
the aim of the institution

throughout its existeuce have not been materially altered, and it
still offers a classical course and prepares its students especially for
the study of tlieology. Of its graduates, the overwhelming majority, upward
of one thousand, have become pastors in the Missouri Synod, many of whom
are still today serving the Master in many parts of the globe. But also in
other walks of life the alumni of Concordia are represented and fill positions
of importance and trust, respected and honored by their fellow citizens.

In short, Concordia College has stood the test of time and has become a very
important factor in the work of the denomination that maintains it. And
even at present, despite the uncertain conditions of the times, it still has an
enrollment of over two hundred and twenty students, requiring for their guid-
ance a faculty of seven insti-uctors and lour assistants. It is confidently to
be expected that as conditions become normal the number of students will
again increase. Judging from its success in the past, Concordia College will
have before it a long period of usefulness in training the minds of the young
and founding them in the principles of Christianity.

TJie Class of 1919

EIGHTEEN to twenty-one years ago the class of 1919 came into being.
We were no better and, as we hope, no worse than the average boys.
But as a large number of us were minister's sons, we were early
destined to go to Ft. Wayne. We liked the idea too, and when anybody asked
us concerning our plans, the proud reply would come, "I am going to Con-
cordia College." Soon our Confirmation Day came and, shortly after this,
the end of our grade school days.

The summer of 1913 passed rapidly, and, before we realized it, the last days
of August came round, and, shortly after this. Labor Day, the date set for
our departure. The whole family escorted us to the depot and, while
modier and sister shed a few tears, we proudly boarded the train. Dad
helped us into the car with our luggage, and then with a firm handshake and
a "Take care of yourself, son," he went out. Now we were all alone, no
motlier hand to guide and comfort us in the rough places, and no brother or
sister to help us bear our misery. But we determined to be men and to
look fate in the face with a smile. Soon the train arrived in Fort Wayne
and we got off, immediately asking a nearby officer for directions to reach
the college. We arrived here safe and sound, but looking more like chim-
ney sweeps than honest sexties, as we were promptly dubbed. However,
we did not find ourselves alone. Sixty-five others were in the same boat
as we. After getting halfway settled, we went to bed, courting Morpheus
for the first time in our new abode. In the morning we had to stand a few
examinations, but after these were over we were at liberty to take a good
look around. The old fellows were coming in now, and we envied their easy
going way and their hearty mutual welcomes. A few kind lower classmen
undertook to cheer us up, and we soon felt better. The next few days were
hard ones for us. We missed the old home touch, and though everybody
treated us kindly, we became victims of "homesickness" (nobody admitted
it, however). How we poured out our tale of woe by means of letters!
But this affliction soon was a thing of the past, and we decided to "stick it
out." After several weeks of exemption we were initiated into the mysteries
of the broom, mop, dusting rag, and bed-making. This, too, was hard for
us, but ere long we became masters of these arts. Work for our classes
also kept us from thinking too much of home, for to fathom the depths of
corona, amo, and "x+y = z," took hard study. Baseball also kept us occu-
pied, for did we not all strive to lead the Juniors in hitting? Our admira-
tion was also excited by the "big team." How they could play ball! Col-
lege spirit was aroused, and we were willing to back them against any
comers.

With the passing of baseball, basketball came on, and we transferred our
allegiance to the N. B. C. and to the basketball team. All the while the
days were slowly passing, and finally those long hoped for days, Xmas
vacation, arrived, and we hied us home. Here a warm welcome awaited us.
Everybody was glad to see us. At the dinner table we were deluged with
questions, all of which we answered to the best of our ability. Finally the
meal was finished and we were given a rest. After supper we decided to
visit our old schoolmates. How they did stare when they saw us! We had
left as mere boys and came back as half-men at least. Drill and athletics
had given us that self-assurance which is necessary to enjoy life. We
"walked erect and thought straight." We had to repeat our story. Thus
tlie joyous vacation days speeded away, and, ere we realized it. we were
again to depart from our friends and critics. But this time it was not so
hard to leave. Nothing vague, indefinite and threatening awaited us. but
familiar places and old friends. January's short days passed like a fleet-
ing breath, and in the beginning of February we received our First Semester
reports. How proud we were of them! But a few of us, and they hatl our
sympathy, did not have joyous features. Gloom and disappointment were
spelled in capital letters on their faces. The rest of the year passed unevent-
fully. A few, who lived in the vicinity of Fort Wayne, went home during
tlie short Easter vacation, but most of us stayed here. Finally the middle
of June arrived, and with it all kinds of excitement, for were we not all
going home soon? Tiie last day came at last, and, after an exhibition drill,
we received our final reports. Most of them bore the words "Promoted."
The recipients of these could be seen walking around with a joyous mien,
realizing the new dignity which would soon be theirs, namely, that ot Quin-
taners. In several hours all had left, each for his own home, to recuperate
from his past labors, and to prepare for those that were to come. That first
vacation was the happiest time of our life. But alas, it passed all too
quickly, and fall found us back in Fort Wayne, although a number, realizing
in time that their paths lay in other directions than ours, had left us. With
the addition of ten new members, we numbered but forty-five. This year
was a repetition of the foregoing one. Though we were "Quints," our
status was not materially changed. But we considered ourselves better than
the newcomers, showing off before tliem while teaching them the ropes. The
time soon passed, and before long another year had flown. So we journeyed
home and posed before our friends. Widi the autumn days we again left
the old hoiuestead. We were Quartaners now, and although a number had
again fallen by the wayside, we still boasted forty members. How we did
strut around the campus in our resplendent jerseys, lording it over the lower
Ij, classmen! We no longer had to run errands, but our frequent violations

-\h of the "Hausordnung" brought us many a day of fatigue. We took every-

tfi thing with a grin except Greek. This spectre appearetl before us this year.

"{:; Fortunate are those who weathereil its storms! So the years passed.

Tertia, the fourth year, brought with it no new studies. Out work, too, was
now confined to occasional days of fatigue (we were becoming sensible)
and the weekly washing of windows. Sundays also had a new significance
for us, for twice a month we were permitted to stay up till ten o'clock. But
"Tempus fugit" and we were soon honorable Secundaners, members of the
governing branch of the student body. So the time passed and now but
twenty-eight of us remain. However, small as we are, we have left our
imprint here, a number of improvements bearing the mark of the Class of
1919.

In athletics especially have we shown our prowess. As early as Quarta we
had men on the 'varsity baseball team. Now three of our fellows help to
uphold the prestige of Concordia on the diamond. Our class teams have
been universally successful, the baseball team last fall beating the coetus
team decisively.

In basketball, too. we have shown our sterling worth. Since Quarta we
have at least had men on the Seconds. This year three of them are helping
to make Concordia basketball history.

Track is another forte of ours. In Quarta we were already the runnersup
in the interclass meet, and in Tertia, though we had lost one of our best
athletes, we managed to nose out a victory. In Secunda we repeated the per-
formance, notwithstanding the fact that another star had left us. Our
chances for the coming year are bright, for our last year's team is still intact.

Nor do our literary qualities suffer in comparison witli those of other classes.
Greek, Latin, Hebrew and other studies have been stumbling blocks to
many of our former classmates, but now they frighten but a very few of us.
Music also has its devotees in our midst. All the members of our class are
affiliated with the Male Chorus. The Quartet and Trio have established
fine i^eputations for themselves in this vicinity.

So we finish our six years' stay here. Most of us will meet again in St.
Louis, but for a few of us this is the parting of the ways. May we always
be as happy as during our short sojourn here. To our former classmates,
to our kind professors, and to the many kindhearted friends and benefactors
in Fort Wayne and elsewhere, we extend our best wishes and hearty thanks.

makes quite a beginning. Upon his arrival
at the institution five years ago, he immediately
excused himself for the misfortune of coming

"Eagle"' has a record of making all kinds of
nonsensical remarks in tlie classroom and get-

especially fond of Hebrew, which is only
natural, for he once impersonated a Jew at a
concert and the resemblance was striking. In
fact he can impersonate anything from a dough-

musician, too. and adorns our devotional exer-
cises after the morning repast with melodious
strains from the box, which "honoris causa" is
called an organ, while his deep bass voice has
already become indispensable to the Male
Chorus. "Eagle" is so accustomed to the "pond"
near his home that he has developed an in-
satiable mania for visiling the famous lake and
its attractive surroundings in the northern part
of Ft. Wavne, the moonlight on Sunday night
especially appealing to him. May everything he

he tops. Vale, professor!

yL/ HEN Adam entered these halls devoted to the
imbibition of wisdom he perhaps little
thought of the great things fate held in store for
him. One can hardly help associating his name
with everything athletic. Adam is a star in prac-
tically every branch of sport, and in basketball
he has shown exceptional prowess. On the in-
terior arena he has indeed proved himself a veri-
able stonewall, much to the delight of his mates
and the dismay of his opponents. His one regret
is the fact that football is not permitted at the in-
stitution, for if there is one thing Adam enjoys
more than proving a barrier to a hopeful voung
fonvard, it is kicking the pigskin to all corners
of the compass. Even Hebrew appeals to him,
and when not polishing his three buttons and his
saber he either binds and rebinds his Hebrew
grammar or relates his marvelous exploits at
Belle Isle or the Brewery. Odd to sav. the latter
came to a .somewhat abrupt end due to a certain
decision of the Wolverine legislature. During
summer he either assists Henry Ford or plays
tennis — he's good at both. Adam has formed no
plan regarding his future, but we hear that he
has rejected an offer to lead a Bolshevik move-
ment in Baluchistan.

\\/ HAT A Loss the little town of ^'incennes
must have experienced when one of its
most promising young citizens departed from it
to grace this good old bunk! If they're all as
busy there as Jcky was here during his six-year's
sojourn, it must be quite a city by diis time.
"Bottle o" milk," "Squads right," "'Atta drop-
ping it through the basket, Ick, old boy.' would
just about explain the tiature of his activities
here. Due to his careful buying the stationery
now is able to furnish two hundred hungry
mouths with a glorious arrav of delicacies. How
many recruits have not trembled when Icky none
too graciously informed them that they should
know better! He also takes a great interest in
athletics. Put him into one comer of the bas-
ketball arena, give him the ball and, guard or
no guard. Concordia's points will certainly
climb two notches. Icky occasionally jilays
baseliaii. and though not activelv engaged, he
has aided the varsity team greatly as its success-
ful business manager. Every joke in the class room is
sure to draw from him a gusty haw-haw. and whenever
a noise cannot be traced to ihe perpetrator, just accuse
Icky on general principles and you will usually be right.
His gnat ambition is to start a mission in Bohemia.

Let us, however, hastily assure you that there
is no resemblance whatsoever between, this by-
name and its original, unless it be that they are
both hard toi crack. This modern Hercules was,
in the opinion of his superiors, made for other
things besides imbibing knowledge, so the office
of keeping the buildings at a comfortable tem-
perature was offered him, which he readily ac-
cepted. As regards patriotism. Hazel has no
peer; and had not the enemy finally yielded to
Uncle Sam's convincing arguments, we should
perhaps even now see "Lieutenant" Dietz parad-
ing proudly about Manistee in a natty officer's
uniform.. Hazel has gained considerable renown
as a sterling runner and is annually responsible
for quite a few of tlie points which carry his
class to victory. His sickly ( ? ) constitution
necessitates frequent visits to a local hospital, and the
gentle care which all patients receive there seems to
have exercised a strange influence over our friend. May
he keep his future home up north as snug and warm
as he kept the hunk these past years! We hate to lose
you, Hazel!

we did not liiink could be squeezed into a man
from the South. He has a nice handwriting —
no doubt acquired through constant practice —
and for this reason was chosen to compile the
minutes of Prima and Secunda. This is quite
a responsible position, since an undesirable
punctualitv is its main requisite. "Holv smokes.
Heidev, Louev and I've been waiting ten min-

this inseperable triumvirate on one of its jaunts
into Nature. Even the most inclement weather
cannot detain Edgar from his dailv constitu-

with colors flying, mathematics and phvsics de-

an inexhaustable stock of negro witticisms or writing

sources tliat Edgar has already begun work on his
Greek-Latin Dictionary which will soon appear.

for its large forests, and Heidefatz has shown
himself to be made of well-grained timber. After
he had heroically tackled "mensa" and "hortus,"
he called it a day's work, which, however, grad-
ually lengthened into quite a string of days.
Nevertheless he manages to toil through his les-
sons witli his prow still headed to the front.
Since he is a farmer, the bounteous meals do
not at all satisfy the abnormal cravings of his
inner man and he is therefore recognized as one
of the leadings patrons of that far-famed mar-
ket where delicious edibles may be purchased.

your judgment is not in the least at fault. .Nellie

is already a matter of history. Nellie is noted
for his inflexible love of justice and is therefore
frequently selected to demonstrate his sagacious-

three victorious seasons and covers the middle

1^ IND Readers, meet Duke Louis II. of Frank-
enmuth. that fabulous land noted for its
luscious liberty cabbage and refreshing grape
juice. It was here that the young nobleman s|)enl
his boyhood days and it was the spirit of this
community which caused Louey to visit Ft.
Wayne for a brief period of six years. In fact
Frankenmuth furnishes more workers for the
Lord's vineyard than perhaps any other congre-
gation of its size. "Eskey" brought witli him two
characteristics which he could not very well
leave behind. One of these is his miappeasable
desire to sing. Clothed in several suits of armor,
the Silent Harmony Quartette lolls in the
shadowy recesses of some byway and tempts
us to wax exceeding wroth. The first tenor is
none other than our friend "Louey," and all
the various objects propelled in the general di-
rection of the would-be harmonizers seem to
pick out this unfortunate gent as the initial tar-
get. The other characteristic can be expressed
in the few words which constitute "Eskey's"
motto: Worry little, "oclis" less, but know it all. Louey
once nearly sacrificed himself to athletics by playing 44-
73 of an indoor baseball game. If he can preach as well
as he can play euchre, his success is assured.

he may be seen faithfully perusing his manu-

his sojourn at Concordia "Bush" has developed
two quenchless hobbies, writing English com-

he even developed a sudden mania for making
an enormous collection of picture frames. We
were all in a quandary as to the exact purpose
of such an array of image-retainers. Since
none seemed to be just right, we suspected that
the picture was quite valuable. Bush finally

spends much time on English literature. He is

Fort Wapie is his home, so that if it has none

himself very efficient. He is working continually
to raise the high standard and reputation en-
joved bv our battalion, and his eilorts are bear-
ing fruit. It is said that he is quite handsome
in his uniform — but we leave the judgment of
this to others. He is also an athlete, as he is our
varsitv pitcher. It's no easy matter to connect
with Getting's curves, for the stuff which he
shoots across the plate is more than the majority
of batters are able to handle. As the head of
the Bowling Association he keeps things moving
all the time and sees to it that the alleys are al-
ways in tiptop shape. Without doubt, when
life's stern duties call the roll, Walter will re-
spond with a hearty "here' and perform his
duties well.

I-I AVE \ ou imagination, you who peruse this

form a vivid picture of this embodiment of every-
thing innocent. One hundred and sixty solid
poimds of humor and imagination — there you
have the cause of the section which, for some
unknown reason, is named the Hmnorous Depart-
ment. Let us sketch briefly a frequent occur-
rence: We are deeply engrossed in "Custard's
Last Pie." Suddenly a terrible "Call of the Wild"
resoimds through the corridor. The door is burst
open, we are rudelv awakened from our reverie
and then "it" begins. We thought Guilbertte elo-
quent when he declaimed the "Wreck of the
Hesperus"' and "2b or not 2b," but these disser-
tations on the "Idiosyncrasies of the Female
Mind" and "Bachelor Days" leave us breath-
less. He departs, and we rejoice. Alas and
alack, long ere we have recuperated from the first at-
tack, he is loosing upon us a second volley, perhaps a
thesis on the vulnerable topic of dancing. So must we
suffer. When not thus volubly proclaiming a lack of
something, G. Th. is either reconstructing the Gym — he
is one of the supervisors — or strolling to the tailor's es-

ere long he will find his claims that '"life is a sad thing"

self quite a name during his stay at the bunk.
He is a tonsorial artist of undisputed skill and
numbers practically all his fellow students
among his victims. Harry takes a great interest
in physical culture and to see him cavort grace-
fully on the basketball floor is alone well wortli
the admission price. Dame Rumor has it that
he once took part in a military parade near his

we are not in the least surprised, fur he
certainly looks cule in his uniform. Plackv
is always expeditious in assisting a poor
IVilow mortal who is being grossly abused,
which probably accounts for his erstwhile
ardent adoration of a Fair field (avenue).
In him the famous saying: "Show me, I'm from

could easily be classed with Payne. Of course,
that satisfies us completelv. Ab manages to lead
quite an adventuresome life, for diligent search

inmiediately succeeded by an unwelcome visit,
but usually a successful one. We appreciate
greatly ihe efforts he has put forth to make this

If you are surprised at the pep and ability shown
by Company "A," just glance at its captain and
the cause is evident at once. Being an officer,
he also acquired a swagger stick which has
gained notoriety by its mysterious adventures.
As to the nature of these incidents you must ask Abner.
for he is not at all confiding — sometimes. May he also
have his "gebuehrend Anteil" of prosperity in life.

I HIS Happy looking young genius is tlie latest
addition to our class banner. Though he has
been with us but a year, his jovial nature and
carefree disposition have endeared him to all his
fellow students. He is a living advertisement
of Woodbury's Facial Soap and is always sub-
ject to petting and other demonstrations of ten-
der affections by his classmates. He delights
his professors bv his ready ability to answer
any question put to him or someone else; for,
right or wrong, sometliing or other is sure to
escape from his tongue. "Babe" is a firm be-
liever in the old adage, "Brevity is the soul of
wit," for he finds constant delight in the scraps
of humor which he casually permits to fall upon
unprotected territorv. They either draw tears
to the eyes of the hearers or a shoe or other
convenient article to the summit of his diminu-
tive trunk. "Foolish" lias developed an in-
satiable desire to give everything that comes
into his range of vision a try-out. pipes and to-
bacco holding!; an especial fascination for his
fastidious taste. He is already making prepara-
tions for a great library, which is to contain the
greatest works of literature from .Shakespeare
down to the Rovers boys.

Y OUNG LoCHiNVAR came out of the West,"
an enthusiastic bard once exclaimed. We
repeat this statement, only our hero carriers
away with him a more precious object, namely
an accumulation of six years knowledge and ex-
perience. His knowledge has in the later years of
study developed from an undefinable something
into a compact mass assuming a somewhat defi-
nite shape, the Hebrew characteristics predomi-
nating. His experiences cannot so easily be de-
scribed. Indeed they are so varied that it would
be foolish to even attempt to tell all of them. We
shall content ourselves with a few. Even in his
early days. Shrimp exhibited a marked tendency
to skate. No doubt the roller-rink magnates of Ft.
Wayne will experience an unprecedented drop in
their business when Arthur decides to leave this
fair hamlet. The Easier holidays bring especial
joy to the heart of this happy-looking individual
since they are the occasion of his annual visit to
one of the many nearby lakes, for the express
purpose of extracting from it vast, so he hopes,
quantities of the elusive aquatic inhabitants. Sad to
sav, the close of the final day usually sees the "vast
quantities" dwindled down to two minnows and a craw-
fish. May Schrimp have better success as a fisher of men.

IZ" IND Reader, do not misjudge the physiog-

the fact that he comes from St. Louis, Joe is right
there with the goods. He has been with us only
three short years, hardly long enough for us to
get acquainted with him. For Joe is a complex
person. In the classroom he is one of our shin-
ing lights, for he conquers all studies with
equal ease. If you should happen to hear one
of his fluent musical Latin translations you
would be tempted to consider him a vocalist.
You would be quite right too, for he is a fine
tenor, and a meinljer of the class quartet. His
literary qualities were responsible for his being
elected to tlie vice presidency both of the stu-
dents' library and of Prima and Secunda. But
Joe also takes part in athletics, specializing in
bowlmg. His hook, when working right, has
won many a game for the Paramounts. He
takes great interest in baseball and basketball,
being a good performer in each. But his main
forte seems to be walking, especially in good
weather. Wliat his ambition is, we shall not

as successful all around at St. Louis as he was

ajipearance. Whv all this fear, for he looks kind
and innocent enough? Well, Onkel is tlTe quar-

"Hausordnung." They are few and far between
who have not, at some time or other, trembled
at his authority. Upon receiving their first
dose, some decided henceforth to keep to the
straight and narrow path, yet there are a few
culprits so hardened in their ways that even
"Onkel" has almost given up hope ever to effect
a cure. There is one formality in tliis "tyrant's"
weekly routine which he never omits, that is a
walk after devotion on Sunday night. Per-
chance this hahit dates back to Frankenmuth
days, yet we are aware of "Onkel's" strange
fascination for Taber street. It is noticeable
immediately when "Onkel" is absent from the

A LL Hail the big noise from Auburn, Mich.
Before Philip graced these halls of learning
with his presence, we had known of this name
only as a conservative attribute of the substance
with which some girls' heads are adorned.
Pelops has managed, however, to put this little
hamlet on the map and that most distinctly, too.
If any mischief has been committed, trust to
certainty that Philip was at the bottom of it all.
He is always ready for some fim and as a jiu-
jitsu exponent he reigns supreme. He is a firm
believer in his own judgment of others and
criticises most freely the faults and frailties of
the weaker sex. Philip has a good voice and
sings second tenor in the class quartette. We
are not inquisitive — dear me, no — but we won-
der where he practices his vocal powers. Pelops
finds it exceedingly difficult, yea, almost heart-
rending to part from her — his mother we mean
— for which reason his return from the Christ-
mas holidays is habitually delayed several ris-
ings and settings of the luminous heavenly orb.
Philip v.mII perhaps spend his later years trying
to convince people that his insomnia cure is the
best on the market. It worked at Concordia.

his inability to sit still. Always on the go, al-
ways something to do for the good of Concordia,
that's what has endeared Schmuck to all who
know him. Indeed many duties have been
thrust upon him. Though an A 1 performer on
about sixteen different instruments, he is es-
pecially fond of his violin, and is therefore a
much sought for soloist. Besides being the
mainstay of the orchestra, he is chiefly responsi-
ble for the success of the band, which has never
before approached so closely the stale of per-
fection. JNext to music, handling the francs
occupies his attention. The gathering of the
coetus dues, which are alwavs shy in puttbig
in their appearance, as well as the directing of
the affairs of the Alma Mater at the bunk,
Schmuck supervises with careful diplomacv. In
fart, the sharjj insiglit and the clear judgment
lie displays in all matters, are qualities much
sought after and highly respected. But this
personification of energy craves still more activity. "Hey.
.Schmuck, I lost my Toothbrush." and Schmuck must
search it out, and to bis credit let it be said that he
usually finds the object of his search. Later life will
probably find him connected with either the Boston

Vi/ HO IS that imposing spectacle meandering
aimlessly along the highway? That is
"Buck," the Canadian marvel with the short hair.
This constitutes his principle feature, for he per-
sists in keeping the capillary substance on the
pinnacle of his cranium constantly abbreviated.
For this reason he uses Bon Ami as a shampoo,
and it "has not scratched yet." An unfortunate
incapacity of one of his pedal extremities pre-
vented "Buck" from casting his lot whh the
Military Department. Necessity caused him to
visit a specialist at St. Louis and after a success-
ful operation he returned into our midst, loud
in the praises of the metropolis where his cure
had been effected, and the more zealous to serve
the "bunk" to which he had been permitted to
return. During the war "Buck" was anxious
to assist his country in some way. Infantry and
naval service being denied him, he conceived the
idea of joining the Canadian Aviation Service.
Fortunately the enemy capitulated before we
could lose "Buck." for we should hate to see him give
up the studies which have become so familiar to him.
He can even distinguish an "a" sharp from a "pp"
wherefore he holds the position of Vice President of
the Male Chorus. However, 'hie finis fandi." Requiescat
in pace!

the ])urpose of these numerous visits, but since
he has a sickly constitution, we suspect that he
takes these long walks to regain his health. It
is rumored that once, not wishing to walk the
entire distance to Chicago, he boarded a freight
train as the handiest object in sight. During
the summer Pug either helps to concoct a well-
known beverage or to remove hair from poor
darkies in his father's tonsorial parlors. "I'se all gwine
charge yo" folitv cents fo" dis "ere haih cut" has been
the lamentable fate of many an unsuspecting negro.
May Pug find happiness in the future, whether it be in
painting the Inink. or in managing a street car in West
Virginia.

I M.*.GIKE, Gentle reader, a glorious array ol
books and manuscripts placed liigb upon a
table, behind it a green eye shade and a well
shaped head, and you have an almost accurate
picture of our friend Oswald. When this husky
lad arrived six years ago the faculty look one
squint al his chirography and immediately de-
cided that he merely lacked practice, and there-
fore appointed him class secretary, which office
"Bush" has faithfully filled. As an Information
Bureau he has rendered invaluable service to his
classmates. He was without doubt an "ever
present help in time ol trouble.' Due to his pro-
found literary ability Oswald was unanimously
elected to the presidency of the Directorium anfl
his inaugural address will long stand forth as a
remarkable specimen of modern literature. Be-
ing an expert shorthand artist, he willingly consented to
compose a set of religious essays which have assisted
several unsteady mates over a somewhat rough course.
Oswald spends inuch time exercising his vocal chords,
and his renditions have long since ceased to attract a
mixture of boots, bottles, and bricks. Indeed, his rare
ability has won for him the reputable position as soloisr
on our class quartette. Prof. Volz intends to teach the
young and inexperienced the rudiments of a brilliant
penmanship until his hair turns gray.

big, doesn't it? But let us assure you that it is
a great deal bigger than it sounds. Billy, as he
prefers to be called, was one of the lOO'/f
patriots that left Concordia in May. 1917, to
join the colors. Of course he could not but
rise by rapid strides. After five months of over-
seas service he returned, coxered with glory, and
missing a captaincy by a da\ — in our opinion
worthy of a vet higher rank. But the love for
old Concordia was rooted deep in his heart, and
Billv returned to complete his course. We
would fain dwell loud and long on his exploits
in the .\rgonne. but he is such a modest chap
that he won't give himself any credit. We envy
Billy. He has licen through that mill from
which men alone return. He has faced death
on innumerable occasions. He lias met men and
knows them. Above all he has gained invaluable
experience which will stand him in great stead
when life's battles must be fought. May Billy
lead his Christian soldiers as successfully as he
<li(l hi< men "Over There."

Gift 0' the Going

We cannot leave you much at most,

You others who remain;
A farewell handclasp, wishes true.

The smile that masks the pain.
These are the only gifts concrete

That, parting, we can give;
But will you mark these that are yours

In Concordia's life to live?
Gifts you hold cheap and commonplace.

For they are yours each day.
But we know them, going now.

Would give our all to stay.
Ah, come what may, we pray you still,

Again and yet again.
To these our gifts, your heritage.

Hold fast like Concordia men:
The sunrise o'er the eastern hill

That stands beside our lake;
The jostling crowd at reveille.

Good-natured, half-awake;
The comradeship through all the day

Till by the tenon-tusk
That juts away from old Fort Wayne,

The quiet comes at dusk;
The hush of "0. D." hard enforced.

The clamor at tattoo;
The silence, then again, at "Taps,"

That lasts the whole night through;
The many-minded interests

Of these too, too brief years.
The teams, the "batt" and all the rest

That come to earn your cheers;
The merry joys that Christmas brings.

And Easter time, and June;
And all the friends to whom you bend

The life that you attune:
We give you these and take our leave —

We may return again —
But come what will, we pray you still

Hold fast like Concordia men;
To these, our gifts, your heritage.

Hold fast like Concordia men.

OF THE YEAR

THE military department is of great importance to our institution, and the
benefit tliat has been derived from the training given here cannot be
overestimated. As the late war has shown to the entire world of what
value military training is to men, so have twelve years of its existence at Con-
cordia demonstrated the good which may be derived from such training at our
college. This, however, was not the opinion of a great number when the
faculty and the board of trustees thought of the possibility of securing a
detail from the government. The sentiment that it would be of no value,
or that it would even prove to be a detriment, was found not only outside
of the institution, but also among the students. Good common sense, how-
ever, predominated and the result was the establishment of a military
department at Concordia under the leadership of Captain I. W. Leonard of
the United States Army. This was in 1907.

It was, indeed, no easy matter to take two hundred and fifty inexperienced
men, who knew not the difference between squads right and squads left, and
form an effective and well-drilled unit. With characteristic perseverence
and patience he succeeded first in drilling a few men and then in forming
a battalion of four companies, of which every student was a member. A
jjand and signal corps were also organized. The efficiency of the battalion
soon grew to such an extent that it surprised even its most enthusiastic sup-
porters. After four year's of faithful service. Captain Leonard was detailed
to another branch of government work. Captain C. E. Reese then suc-
ceeded him, and under his supervision the efficiency and discipline were
greatly improved and soon the cadet corps possessed the reputation of being
one of the best-drilled units of its kind in the state. Lieutenant L. M. Purcell

took charge of affairs after Captain Reese left us, but remained only a few
months, as he was called to the Mexican border. Captain Geo. L. Byroade
then served very successfully as commandant for a period ot three years,
when he responded to the call of the great World War.

From this time on we have been without a commandant, but the cadet
officers have more than shown, that if need be, they possess the ability to
manage the department by themselves. Knowing that everything depended
on no one else but themselves, the cadets were pervaded with new enthusi-
asm and a marked result was noted. Realizing the great need of practical
tilings. Major Getting has during the present year laid great stress on
points that would be of considerable value in time of war. This policy
had already been adopted in the foregoing year, but its scope was widened,
so that during the present year field-work and the more advanced lines of
drill have stood at the head of tlie list. The importance of diis is obvious,
and it has been greatly appreciated by the members of the cadet corps.
No little pains are also taken wrdi the close-order and display drills. The
snap and precision with which the various movements are executei
merit distinction. To improve the health of the students, setting-up exer-
cises are also held every morning before mess. We can say that the effect
which military training has on the general healtli of the students is very
great, but the extent of this can only be judged from actual experience.

The events that carry with them the most interest are tlie annual inspection,
the Memorial Day parade, the annual tournament, the presentation of a

-^~>\

~^^-=»^<

sabre to the captain of the best-drilled
company, and the promotion of
officers. On inspection day almost the
entire day is devoted to drills and
maneuvers, with whicli the inspector
has always expressed complete satis-
faction. The past year has been an
extremely successful one. The great
need of real men for service every-
where in later life has been realized
and military training is eagerly and
lieartily indorsed by all that have
spent some of their years at Concordia,
as a verv efficient trainer of men.

Spring Season, 1918

THE first baseball practice of
the spring season was held on
April 18th. After several
weeks of try-outs, Capt. Heine an-
nounced that the following would
represent Concordia on the dia-
mond: Bakke, c; Heine, p; Wein-
hold, lb.; Huebner, 2b.; Waltz, ss.;
Klapproth, 3b.; Schuessler, If.; Go-
ing, cf. ; Goehring, rf. ; Getting and
Loessel, utility men.

Owing to the fact that Keb, former

first-sacker, had left the institution,

Weinhold was switched from his
Capt. Loessel regular position at second to cover

first, and the keystone sack was in-
trusted to Huebner. Kohn, shortstop, had undergone an operation during
the winter, and was unable to play when spring came. For this reason,
Waltz was shifted to short from the outer garden, and Going was sent to
center. These changes materially increased the slugging power of the team.

The first game was played on May 4th, with the Lights-Dudlo team of the
local Patriotic League furnishing the opposition. The visitors drew first
blood, scoring in the initial frame on a pass and a double. Concordia's
attack began in the third iiming, when successive hits by Schuessler, Klap-

<:onn,nl,a rrr.us l!,„ht

:^^^^^^^

proth, Bakke, and Huehner tallied three runs. After the first inning, Heine
held the opponents at his mercy, while Concordia cinched the game in the
fifth on singles by ^'einhold and Waltz, which, coupled with an error, netted
two more markers. The final score was 7 to 3. Heine's pitching, the
timely hitting of Bakke. and Huebner's fielding featured the contest.

The second and last game took place on May 11th. Our opponents were the
Badgers. Getting pitched his first game for Concordia, and, with the excep-
tion of one iiHiing, held the enemy well in hand. The result was never in
doubt after the third frame, when Concordia scored three on bunched hits
and clever base-running. Although both teams hit safely seven times, all of

Bahhc

Concordia's hits were bunched in three innings, while Getting, aided by three
double-plays, kept the visitors' hits well scattered. Score: Concordia, 9;
Badgers, 3.

Fall Season, 1918

After the sunnner vacation, college opened again on September 4th, and
baseball practice began almost immediately. Of the spring team, Heine,
Weinhold, and Klapproth had been lost through graduation and other causes,
and the filling of their places proved no small task. The line-up, as finally
decided upon by Capt. Loessel, was as follows: Bakke, c; Getting, p.;
Loessel, lb.; Huebner, 2b.; Siess, ss.; Waltz, 3b.; Goehring, If.; Going, cf.;

Stoflel

Hoejerkamp

Schuessler, rf.; Stoffel, Pohl, and Hoel'erkaiiip, subs. Clausen was appointed
business manager Ijv the athletic committee, with Dorre as his assistant.

The fall season was officially opened on September 21st, when we stacked
up against the Ovelmos. Although they put up a game fight, they were not
in our class, and the affair was little more than a practice game. The score
was 11 to 4.

The next game was the closest and best one of the season. The Badgers, city
amateur champs, anxious to retrieve the laurels they had lost in tlie spring,
challenged us. The gage of battle was at once taken up. For eight innings
the score see-sawed back and forth, and in the last half of the ninth it was
tied at six. Hits by Goehring and Schuessler put men on second antl third,
and Getting won his own game with a drive through the pitcher. Bakke's
hitting and Huebner's fielding featured the battle, the former getting three
hits out of lour attempts, and the latter accepting ten chances without an
error.

Gwing to an oullireak ol Spanish influenza in ihc v\[\\ but one more game
could be played, the Gvelmos again being our opponents. This team had
strengthened its line-up by securing a number of semi-pro stars, and was out
to avenge its previous defeat. Though they played a much better game
than before, the best they could do was to score three times, while five Con-
cordians crossed the plate. Going led the (Concordia attack with a single, a
double, and a triple in three trips to the plate. Pohl and Stoffel played their
first game, and bolh showed up well. Pohl dri\ ing in a run with a (hmbh^ in
the fourth.

Baskethall

ITH the completion of tlie base-
ball season, basketball conies
into its own. The great popu-
huity of this sport at Concordia is due
mainly to the fact that we have a fine
gymnasium, with two playing floors,
which gives every one an opportunity
to indulge in his favorite sport.

The call for candidates was issued by

Clausen, captain pro-tern, about the

middle of October, and the try-outs

continued for several weeks. After ^^^'- ^^o^'sse'

nearly a month of weeding out, the
following were weighed and not found wanting: Clausen and Dorre, for-
wards; Schuessler, center; Claus and Plackmeier, guards; Labrenz and
Going, subs. After the latter had discontinued his studies here, Schumacher
was taken from the Seconds and given a berth on the varsity team. Schuess-
ler. the only veteran of last year's team, was chosen captain, while Loessel
and Kohn were detailed to look after the business end.

Capt

To give the fans an opportunity of seeing the team in action, an exhibition
game was staged between the varsity and seconds, on Nov. 18. The more
experienced varsity triumphed by a score of 34 to 12. The U. W. W.
campaign then being at its height, another game was arranged, the receipts
to go to this worthy cause. A good crowd turned out to help boost the
fund, and saw the first team repeat its victory, the score this time being
55 to 15.

Owing to the prevalence of Spanish Influenza, the college was closed down
on December 8, and no more games could be played before Christmas. But
immediately after the holidays Manager Loessel got busy and scheduled a
game with the Zanesville Independents for January 11. This team, which
had held the championship of northern Indiana for several years, was
but a shell of its former self, and could do but little against the perfected
team-work of our boys. The score was .59 to 17. Clausen was high man
with twelve field goals, while Dorre and Schuessler each collected seven.

The next game was one of the best of the season, tlie enemy being the
hitherto invincible Phi Delta Kappa of Bluffton. Concordia played their
opponents off their feet from the beginning, the first half ending 27 to 8

in our favor. The team eased up perceptibly in the
second half, and allowed their foemen to outscore them
by two points, the final score being 40 to 23. Schuessler,
Clausen, and Dorre each gathered six field goals, while
Glaus put up one of the finest defensive games ever seen
on a local floor.

Having defeated the best in Indiana, we turned to Ohio
and found the Grace Athletic Glub five of Lima anxious
to lower our colors. The game was close throughout, but
Goncordia always held the upper hand. Score: Concordia
42: Lima 3L

Two states had been unable to produce a team superior
to ours, and a third, Michigan was called upon, and she
proved equal to the task. Our foemen were none otlier
than the Rayls of Detroit, one of the strongest teams in
the country. After tlie first ten minutes it was apparent that our boys were
doomed to defeat, the superior size of the opponents (the weight of the
Rayls ran all the way from Wasmund, who weighed a mere 160 pounds, to
Voss, their huge center, who tipped the beam at about an eighth of a ton )
proving too much for our light but fast team. However, to lose to such a
team is no disgrace and our boys had every reason to feel satisfied with
their showing. At the close of the game the scoreboard said: Goncordia
17; Visitors 40.

Clausen

Determined to avenge our defeat, we next tackled Bluffton Mennonite College
and trounced them to the tune of 38 to 23. The visitors
could do nothing against the Goncordia defense, while
the home team scored freely. Clausen led the scoring
with seven field goals to his credit.

The following Saturday the Y. M. 0. team of Detroit, the
rival of the Rayls for the Michigan championship, ap-
peared at our gym and was defeated in a game that was
replete with thrills from start to finish, the lead switching
back and forth no less than seventeen times. Concordia
scored thirty points, while all the efforts of the \. M.
0."s netted them five less.

The seventh game of the season was staged on March 1.
against a team representing Co. D, of the Erie Prov-
ing Ground, Port Clinton, Ohio. Though the soldiers
won many friends by their clean playing and sports-

-z^_

manship, they were no match for us. and lost by a score
of 44 to 10.

The Bluffton Phi Delta Kappa's, wlio iiad succumbed to
our team earlier in the season, but had meanwhile an-
nexed the state championship, came back for revenge,
and. catching our boys off their form, avenged their
previous defeat by taking home the long end of a 37
to 25 score. Schuessler led the scoring with five field
KoaLs and nine free throws to his credit.

> ^ B' ■*-^'' The first game of a series to determine the city champion-
g^{\ ship was played against the T. 0. P. Club on March 15.

When the first half ended with the enemy leading, 17 to 8,
many of our supporters lost hope, but not so the team.
Playing like wild men, they tied the score in the last five
minutes of play, and then won out in a spectacular finish.
Clausen did fine work, scoring at opportune moments, but the particular fea-
ture of the game was the wonderful playing of Claus as back guard, who
time and again broke up the opponents" attack.

Claus

The final game of the city series was played the next week, against the Saint
Paul Nationals. This game proved to be the climax of a fine season, and
was probably the closest ever played in Fort Wayne. The lead changed con-
tinually until, with five minutes to play in the second half, the Nationals
led, 2.5 to 22. Capt. Schuessler threw a foul goal
and with the score-keeper's finger tightening on the
trigger, Clausen shot a beautiful goal from the center
of the floor. With the score tied, a five-minute over-
time period was neccessary. After over half the time
had elapsed, Schuessler scored another free throw, and
Clausen's sixth goal of the game sewed up the match
Tlie fine guarding of Plackemeier and Claus. and Cla'J-
sen's shooting featured the contest.

As a son of alleiinath to a very successful season, a game
was scheduled with Culver Military Academy for March
29. our only game away from home. In a fast, clean
malch our 'varsity tucked away another \iclury. winning
l)y the score of 27-17. This gives us a record ol nine
wins and onl\ Iwo defeats for the season, one ol which
we and the team may justly be proud.

The prospects for a winning team next
year are exceptionally bright, for, al-
though three of the regular will he lost
hy graduation this year, a wealth of
promising material remains, from
which it should be easy to build up a
strong, fast team. Capt. Schuessler
and Dorre will be here for another
season, and they, with this year's sub-
stitutes and several men from the Sec-
onds, ought to form an unbeatable
combination. The first two will have
profited considerably by tlieir experi-
ence, and should form a nucleus
around wiiich to build a team. May
the coming season be as successful in
every respect as was the past!

'"No great team has Ijeeii developed without a good scrub." says an old foot-
hall maxim, and this also holds good for basketball. After the Varsity
team has been chosen, the best of the unsuccessful candidates are selected
for the Seconds, who usually encounter some fast junior five in the prelimi-
nary to the 'varsity game. After several changes, the Seconds finished their
season with the following line-up: Capt. Pohl, Kruse, and Behrens. for-
wards; Greinke, center; Franke, Broerman. and Luecke. guards.
They lost but two games all season, one to the C. C. H. S.. who numbered
three major league players among dieir line-up. and the otlier to the Burling-
ton Specials, who had four major league players. In each case, the Seconds
avenged their defeat by triumphing over their opponents in return games.
Every real junior team met with was beaten decisively, and the Seconds
ended the season in a blaze of glory by completely swamping the St. Paul
Juniors, claimants of the city junior title. During the entire season they
scored 344 points to their opponents 194.

Track

SINCE the completion of the quarter-mile cinder track around our athletic
field in the spring of 1917, track has become a major sport at Concordia.
This track filled a long-felt want; without it, proper preparation for the
annual Field Day had been nearly impossible, and, as a result, the marks
made were frecjuently disappointing. Furthermore, until now all track
activities have been limited to the Interclass Meet on Field Day. Now, how-
ever, with all facilities at hand, we hope to see track-meets with other colleges
or organizations, and also better marks. An improvement was noticeable
already last Field Day, especially in the track events.

The 22nd amnial track and field meet was held on May 25th. Probably no
other Field Day aroused so much interest. The athletes had been training
for over a month, and all were in excellent condition. While J. Pluvius
had favored us with his usual cloudburst the day before, the morning of
Field Day, contrary to custom, dawned with hardly a cloud visible. The
only drawback was a strong wind, which slowed up the runners. Class feel-
ing ran high, and the general opinion was that it would be a triangular fight
between Prima, Secunda, and Tertia. Prima's chief strength lay in the
jumps and weight events; Secunda depended on her runners to again carry
her through to victory; and Tertia's hopes were based mainly on Klap-
proth, the individual high man of the previous year.

Secunda began with a rush, taking sixteen points in the first two events, by
virtue of a first and a second place in each. Tertia. however, was always

! J

within striking distance, until Klapproth had the misfortune to turn his
ankle in his last trial in the running hroad jump, which he won. Although
he gamely ran the 100-yard dash, he was unable to participate further, and
with him Tertia's hopes vanished. Victory now lay between Prima and
Secunda, and the race was nip and tuck, with '18 leading by one point after
the discus hurl. In the following three track events, however, '19's runners
took nineteen points to '18's none, and thereby carried off first honors for
the second successive year. Kruse and Dietz, with 15 and 13 points respec-
tively, were high men for Secunda, while Moehring and Polster, with 12 and
10 points, made the best showing for Prima.

In the Sexta-Quinta events, Quinta as usual overwhelmed the Sexties, blank-
ing them by the time-honored score of 23 to 0. Kleps and Maas starred in
the junior events, while Abendroth made the only senior point by winning
third in the pole vault.

The seemingly poor time in Uie furlong is due to two facts, namely, that we
have no adequate straightaway for this event, and secondly, that it was run
directly against a forty-mile gale. The best mark of the day was Moehring's
mark of 15 4^5 seconds in the hurdles. The summiiry of events follows:

Tennis

'T'HOUGH Concordia net enthusiasts lack the incentive of winning tiie much-
coveted C, yet tennis has its share of followers here. The tennis club has
grown steadily since its organization, and now boasts of a membership of
more than thirty. The officers of the club are the president, the secretary-
treasurer, and two ground-keepers.

Hardly has winter disappeared when the ground-keepers appear on the scene
and ruthlessly drag each member from his occupation, be it what it may,
and order him to "get a rake or hoe and help put tlie courts in shape." Pro-
tests and excuses are greeted with scorn. It is unnecessary to remark that
the ground-keepers are not the most popular officials of the club.

If the weather permits, tournaments are held each spring and fall, to deter-
mine the championship. Owing to adverse weather conditions, the fall
tournament could not be played, and, as we go to press, the spring event has
not vet been arranged.

Coetus

'T'HE entire student body constitutes coetus. As a member of the student
body, each student lias the privilege of bringing before coetus any propo-
sition which he deems necessary and essential to tlie support and maintenance
of the student body. Coetus has no definite date for meetings, but convenes
whenever necessity and the welfare of the student body requires. Among
other things, coetus has full control over all athletic affairs. It defrays all
necessary expenses and takes in all gate receipts. The chairmen are the
president and vice-president of the senior class; the secretary and treasurer
are elected annually. Worthy of special mention is the enthusiasm and
ardor with which the students support the cause of Concordia. Every Con-
cordian regards it as his solemn duty to uphold the good name and record
of his Alma Mater to the utmost. This excellent spirit of the students has
as yet not met its superior, for very few institutions can boast of such loyalty
on the part of its students as can Concordia.

Although coetus decides upon many questions necessary to the welfare
of the student body, the real government of coetus lies in the hands of
Prima and Secunda. It is practically the rules and regulations of this body
that make coetus a self-governing body. The students gladly and willingly
submit, because they know that all rules passed by Prima and Secunda are
for die good of their Alma Mater. The co-operation of Prima and Secunda
and the faculty deserves special mention. If the faculty deems the action
and procedures of Prima and Secunda prudent, it sanctions the same.

DIRECTORIUM AND LIBRARY

'T'HE directorium consists of fourteen members, who have complete charge
of the library, a spacious and comfortable room on the second floor of the
dining hall. Each librarian has charge of the library for one week at a
time and is responsible for the cleanliness and good order of the library, and
also for every book drawn and returned during that week. Students of the
three upper classes only are eligible for a place on the directorium. The
librarians are elected by coetus, as are also the officers of the directorium.
No place on the college grounds is more frequented, no place better liked
by the studiously inclined, than the library. The best and most popular
papers and magazines afford the students a splendid opportunity to keep
in touch with the outside world. English and German literature predomi-
nates. Renowned scholars of the future are here seen hoarding knowledge
day after day to such an extent that would surprise and alarm a Solomon.

MUSIC

IVTUSIC plays a prominent part in the activities of the students, for we know

what irresistible and peculiar power the charms of music have over most

people. Mr. John Verwiere, the instructor of the band, has expressed him-

rr\~tr

self as well pleased and satisfied with the progress of the band this year.
The band has won the praise and admiration of the spectators at the basket-
ball games in the last few years, but never before have the people applauded
its efforts so fervently as this year. The orchestra also, thanks to the expert
instruction of Prof. Gaston Bailhe, has made a reputation for itself. It is
very proficient and always willing to render assistance in concerts and enter-
tainments. The performances of die Prima Trio, which is composed of two
violinists and a pianist, have gained for them a lasting and enviable reputa-
tion. This trio is diligently practicing a number of selections for tlie com-
ing concert, which should gain them more laurels.

Concordia also boasts of two distinct choruses, the Male Chorus, composed
of Seniors and Juniors, and the Junior Chorus, consisting of the remainder
of the student body. The able direction of Prof. Walter Hansen soon
changed the gloomy aspect for this year into one of joy and sunshine. Both
choruses are at present busily engaged practicing a number of selections for
the coming concert. The Prima quartette is fully justified in its boast of
the select vocalists of the student body. It can rightfully claim the distinc-
tion of being the best and most enthusiastic of all quartettes and octettes that
have ever represented this institution. How often have not their melodious
and harmonizing voices won the praise and applause of die hearers! This
quartette is diligently practicing many selections and intends to give many
rare treats in the future. If the present organizations continue their
good work, Concordia will have the perfect right to feel proud of its repre-
sentative vocalists.

LITERARY SOCIETIES
IVTEVER before has Concordia displayed such remarkable enthusiasm in
respect to literary societies as in the present year. Everywhere we notice
students conversing about the lectures of some certain professor or discussing
the debates and other numbers of the foregoing meeting. Every class from
Quarta to Prima has a literary society and is assisted and led by a member
of the faculty. As is natural, each class boasts of its many good merits,
desisting, however, from mentioning the weak points. Thanks to the efficient
guidance of the professors, these literary societies have improved rapidly
and beyond expectations. Many debates and discussions of interesting topics
have raised the standard of the societies at least one hundred per cent. The
presence of the professors is in itself a considerable advantage.

THE COLLEGE STORE

IVFATURALLY there must be a way to satisfy the hunger and thirst of the
students. Follow a student, whom you see rushing from the dormitory to
the old building, and you will see how it is done. You will soon find your-
self in a spacious room in the old building called the "Stationery." Here
you will obtain a splendid view of an overcrowded counter. One is calling

<:^<»^»=?»=;^»^^^'

}

for his favorite morning luncheon, a bottle of milk and some cookies,
another is viewing the candy showcase, looking for his favorite dainty. On
the other side of the counter you will notice three well experienced Jews,
who, to say the truth, are too experienced to be called "ordinary students."
All are very apt in this line of business and are proud possessors of comfort-
ing and soothing voices sufficiently enticing to persuade anyone to open
negotiations with them. These "Jews" are no "nickel snatchers," as has
been the case in former years, when five cents was a large amount of money,
but they begin with six cents now. The "Store" was formerly, as the name
"Stationery" indicates, merely a shop in which school supplies were sold.
A number of years ago, cookies, candy, milk and the like were added. From
a small insignificant affair, the "Stationery" has developed into a prosperous
"general store."

ROOTERS' CLUB.

A T ALL higher institutions of learning we find rooters' clubs, but it is
doubtful whether any other institution surpasses Concordia in the loyalty
and spirit of its rooters' club. Not for a number of years past have the
students disclosed such spirited enthusiasm in the support of their 'varsity
teams as in the present year. Although it often seemed as if our players had
lost all hope in victory, yet, spurred on and encouraged again and again by
the cheers and yells of their fellow students, they have frequently changed
defeat into glorious victory. Many new yells and cheers have been added
this year, which have aided in expelling listlessness and in restoring interest
in the spectators as well as in the students.

KLAXON KLUB

/^F COURSE most of the "rooting" is done by the loyal Rooters' Club, but
we must not exclude tlie Klaxon Klub, whose nineteen members have
proved diemselves enthusiastic and highly efficient in this respect. These nine-
teen members take advantage of every available moment to give one of their
original and vociferous yells.

BOWLING
ALTHOUGH basketball and Ijaseball occupy most of the leisure hours of
the students, yet mention must be made of the two excellent bowling al-
leys, which occupy a part of the space in the basement of the dining hall.
Many students, who do not participate in basketball find great pleasure in
bowling on these alleys. These alleys have furnished much entertainment for
those who delight in this sport and have aided greatly in passing many dreary
hours. Matches are frequently arranged between two strong teams. These
contests always prove interesting and are watched with a great deal of interest
by many spectators.

inside your face. Whiskers are very economical, but without 'em you have
